Well... ctrl+space isn't enough? You can also change autocomplete delay
(still it respect trigger characters). Actually for me it would be not
comfortable if autocomplete would pop-up on every key press. If I need
help during typing some PHP function I just ctrl+space for hint...

You did understood me right. Maybe I am just being picky :) Sorry about
that, it's probably because I am used to Visual studio's interface and
missing this feature.

Thank you for you help.

Hi,
In order to implement the auto completion for PDT, a few interface functions
should be enabled.
I have opened bugzilla issues to Eclipse Platform and WTP for changing those
behaviors but still didn't got any reply.
When the issues will be resolved then I could implement it.

Hi Guy,
Thanks for the reply, can you please send me a link to the bug? My team
and I are willing to vote for it cause we would love to see that
implemented sometime in PDT.

Cheers,
Ali

I was wondering if there is a bug in pdt. If i set the delay of auto-trigger
to zero (0), then I still need to wait a while before a list popups, after
the trigger. For instance, after pressing:
$
[wait some time]
[list popups.]

Is my machine slow, or can you confirm?

Not your machine. I am having this as well, and min is *pretty* OK. I
don't think that it has an initial delay set, probably just the time it
takes to query the list or something.

Cheers,
Ali
